The U.S. President declines to confirm if he has spoken with the Russian leader since taking office, despite prior promises to end the Ukraine war swiftly.

Donald Trump has repeatedly refused to confirm whether he has spoken with Vladimir Putin since becoming U.S. President.
Trump stated, 'We will speak,' but avoided providing specifics about any direct communication with the Russian leader.
The White House has not released any information about a conversation between Trump and Putin, which is customary after such exchanges.
During his campaign, Trump pledged to end the Ukraine war within 24 hours, citing his relationship with Putin, but no progress has been reported.
Questions about potential discussions with Putin also arose after a recent plane crash in Washington involving Russian citizens, which Trump denied discussing with the Kremlin leader.
